[Verse]
C# F#
I saw her standin' on her front lawn
C# F#
just twirlin' her baton
B F#
Me and her went for a ride sir
C# F#
and ten innocent people died
[Verse]
C# F#
From the town of Lincoln Nebraska
C# F#
with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
B F#
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
C# F#
I killed everything in my path
[Interlude]
C# F#
[Verse]
C# F#
I can't say that I'm sorry
C# F#
for the things that we done
B F#
At least for a little while sir
C# F#
me and her we had us some fun
[Verse]
C# F#
The jury brought in a guilty verdict
C# F#
and the judge he sentenced me to death
B F#
Midnight in a prison storeroom
C# F#
with leather straps across my chest
[Verse]
C# F#
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir
C# F#
and snaps my poor head back
B F#
You make sure my pretty baby
C# F#
is sittin' right there on my lap
[Solo]
C# F# C# F#
[Verse]
C# F#
They declared me unfit to live
C# F#
said into that great void my soul be hurled
B F#
They wanted to know why I did what I did
C# F#
well sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
